Johannesburg, South Africa. During the current war against the farmers in
Zimbabwe from the supports of our resident Robert Mugabe to claim all the
white-owned farms to his party members and his followers, he ordered all
white farmers to surrender all farms to his party members and his followers.
I am here in South Africa with my uncle
My father is One of the best farmers in our country and because he did not
support Mugabes ideas,Mugabes supports invaded my fathers farm and burnt
everything in the farm,killing my father and made away with a lot of items
in my fathers farm. Before his death,my father had deposited with the
Security Company in Johannesburg,South Africa the sum of US$30
MILLION(THIRTY MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS). After the death of my
